1 é pouco, 2 é bom, 3 é demais ( mas nem sempre para tudo...)

Saudades?! Simmmm, muitas! Como eu gosto de escrever neste espaço!!! Aliás, eu tenho muitas novidades...
Quero começar agradecendo o carinho das pessoas que têm deixado palavras tão carinhosas e de incentivo no espaço reservado aos comentários. Muito obrigada. Waléria, Carol, Rafael, enfim, às outras pessoas também que chegam até a mim expressando amabilidade quanto ao blog, ainda que criticando.
Vou aproveitar também e indicar a todos os meus leitores os serviços prestados pela Carol. Carol é formada em turismo e trabalha em uma agência de viagens. Ela tem me ajudado bastante quando surge alguma dúvida referente ao intercâmbio que pretendo fazer. É uma pessoa muito paciente ( e como!!!), gentil e com uma ética profissional raríssima. Quero deixar claro que ela não me pediu, nem está me pagando nada por isso. Estou fazendo isso porque é o mínimo que posso fazer pela lealdade e amizade que tem me ofertado neste momento tão especial para mim. Tem me ajudado sem esforços a realizar este sonho. Bom, então vamos lá:

O nome dela é: Carolina Oliveira
Empresa a qual trabalha: Anandatour
Telefone para contatos: (21) 2507 -2277

Mudando de assunto, lembram da Mrs. Kate Fine? Pois é, ela não me respondeu mais, contudo, parece que ela tem uma amiga tão próxima a ela... Diria que pensam as duas da mesma forma, a tal ponto de ser inacreditável ( ou será cara-de-pau mesmo?!). Veja só:

E aí, alguma semelhança com o e-mail anterior, ou seja, com o da Kate? Parece até piada! Tem coisas que a gente quase não acredita de tão absurdo!!!
Eu tinha que mostrar isso a vocês... Nem queiram saber a resposta que enviei para ela... Tá bom, vou contar... disse que não poderia aceitar a oferta dela porque a Kate já havia me feito a mesma proposta... Como ironia eu acrescentei " That is a coincidence!" e encaminhei a cópia do e-mail da Kate. Se ela respondeu?! Fala sério, né?!
Tá, mas não acaba por aí... no mesmo instante que envio o e-mail, eu recebo outro. Outra proposta para variar... quase não acreditei, mas vamos lá... :

"Dear Au-Pair, We are a young Irish family based in a village called Ratoath, Co. Meath, Ireland. We are looking for someone to come help us in our busy home. We have a boy and a girl: mary is 8 1/2, and harry is 7. Mom works 3 days and Dad works 5 days each week, so we would like you to be part of our family as an "older sister" and help take care of our kids mary& harry go to creche 2 days per week (Wed & Thursday), so you would get them ready in the morning and bring them to creche and collect them in the evening. On Tuesday, they stay home, so you would look after them that day. On the other two days (Mon & Fri) we would like you to be available part time, helping out around the house, for light housework and general assistance We would like you to live-in with us and can offer you your own bedroom with en-suite bathroom and Satellite TV. We also have a PC with Broadband Internet access for you to use to skype your family back home. Ratoath is a young village but fast growing with a population of c. 4000 people. The public bus network passes close to our house and takes 45 mins to get to the centre of Dublin City,We pay 150 EURS of pocket money per week for the basic aupair time and duties and 1150 EURS for your salarys(every four weeks), which can be topped by housework.and i will provide a fone package (fixed and portable). You will also have your own car to drive the kids and that you can use on. If this sounds like the family for you, please contact us.
Thanks
Mr JAMES "

Gente, eu recebi todos estes e-mails num único dia. Às vezes enche minha paciência ( e minha caixa de e-mails também), mas tenho maior prazer de colocá-los todos aqui para que nenhum de vocês caíam num destes golpes. Vale lembrar sempre: ficar em alerta nunca é demais quando se pensa em ir para o exterior sozinho.
Bom, amigos, estou indo agora...Tenho que terminar um trabalho da facul de dança que está me matando!!!! Até a mais bela rosa tem seus espinhos!

Um beijo e abraços.
